Very interesting to see all the memorabilia and in depth explanations of the ancient Olympics. The girl working up front was very kind and even gave me some recommendations for where to eat and visit in Thessaloniki.

5 stars

Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Entrance fee was €5 for an adult which was reasonable. It would be a fantastic addition to the museum if they were to include some video footage of some of the most iconic Olympic moments.
